Controversial former pro hockey agent David Frost, once the target of a murder-for-hire plot, was driven away from his Kingston-area home by constant harassment by police, he says in a new ebook.

In 2004, the FBI revealed former St. Louis Blues player Mike Danton plotted to have his agent killed. Danton spent more than five years in prison for the crime.

In 2006, Frost was charged with and later found not guilty of 12 counts of sexual exploitation involving teenage boys and girls while he was a coach near Kingston. In 2007, he was charged with fraud after using a credit card registered to Danton. He was again found not guilty after Danton said he’d approved Frost’s use of the card.

He says all of this, and an incident in which he claims he was pulled over for no reason while driving in downtown Kingston, prompted him to pull up stakes and move, eventually landing in California, where he and his wife, Bridget, and their two kids now live.

Frost said in an interview with QMI Agency that he and Adam Keefe, the younger brother of former Frost protege and Danton friend Sheldon Keefe, were driving in Kingston, where his white truck was known to police.

Frost said: “(The officer) peers over at me, he goes, ‘Hey Frosty, what’s going on?’ I said ‘Nothing,’ and asked why we were pulled over.

“He smiles and goes, ‘Ah, I just wanted to see what you were up to.’”

That, Frost said, was it. He phoned a real estate agent within a week or two.

“At the end of the day, I looked at it like, ‘I don’t want to live like this.’”

Frost relates this story and others in his new ebook Frosty: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly – Going Up the Ranks to the NHL. Releasing this book, Frost says, was about putting “the record straight.”

But he also admits in the book to the numerous mistakes he made along the way, including his hard-nosed coaching style and his handling of Danton, whom he coached and managed from the time Danton was 11.

Emerging from the case were chilling revelations about Frost’s extraordinary influence over his player, an unusual relationship that continues to baffle observers.

Danton declined comment, saying he hadn’t read the book and was occupied with hockey, his academics and his family.
